Doug ,You quote Marcus and others ,What are their track records ?

DDougie Kass

just now

they are research analysts not running portfolios

i believe, unlike some, that my job is to provide contrarian views/analysis – ergo gary marcus tweets/columns

others feel differently

bullish views dominate the markets (wall street, fin tv ,etc.), thoughtful outside of consensus, provides food for thought for investors and traders considering sectors and weighting those sectors 

warren buffett has done poorly in the last 5-10 years vs the markets – so should i stop quoting him?

druckenmiller, the goat, is on a bad streak – should we stop listening to him?

lee is having a rough year – are his views worthwhile?

considering pros and cons, creating a ledger on ideas is reasonable

if we confided the dialogue and discourse to those who are right… well, that is sub optimal 

Positions: None.
